What Is Coaxial Cable Made of?

June 21, 2011

Several different coaxial cable designs are in common use. All use some configuration of the four basic components: central core, dielectric sheath, conductive shield and insulating jacket.

How to Run Fiber Optic Cable

June 21, 2011

Fiber optic cable is basically glass surrounded by a protective coating. Light is then sent down the wire and bounces along the inside of the glass. This allows for a greater transmission of information than copper cable.

About Choosing Fiber Optic Power Meters

June 21, 2011

Optical power is usually measured in dBm, or decibels referenced to 1mW. These devices measure the average optical power, not the peak power, so they are sensitive to the duty cycle of the data transmitted.

How to Clean Fiber Optic Cable

June 20, 2011

Fiber optic cables are used in a variety of electronic devices, including computers and telephone systems. Many people take these cables for granted and never think about caring for them. However, fiber optic cables must be cleaned just like all other electronic equipment to continue functioning properly.

Various types of Fiber Optical Cable

June 20, 2011

Optical fiber cable has the ability to send a light impulse along distances of glass or plastic fiber, which continues to reflect the light through the wire, which is insulated by layers of coating that may vary depending on the brand.

Cutting a Fiber Optic Cable

June 20, 2011

Fiber optics cable have revolutionized communication. The first fiber optic application or ideology was based upon a theory presented by Alexander Graham Bell in the late 1800s--that light could carry voice recordings through the use of wiring.
